Upcoming Events
with Chris Hosking
For participants in the 2025 Training Group and trainees from Melbourne and beyond who are actively engaged with psychodrama training.
with Hilde Knottenbelt
When we slow down sufficiently to open out the momentary events that make up our experience, we can be present to the emerging life in ourselves and others. Aspects of these moments can be amplified, the unsaid spoken, the barely conscious brought into awareness. New perspectives can be generated.
Current and Past Events
Developing presence and the capacity to work with the emerging life in ourselves and others is the focus of this weekend, led by Hilde Knottenbelt.
It will be of interest to people who wish to expand their capacity to work with groups and individuals in a range of settings and to those who wish to develop greater flexibility and efficacy in their professional and personal lives.
A psychodrama training workshop led by Chris Hosking
Friday, Saturday and Sunday 13-15 May 10am-6pm
In this workshop there will be an emphasis on the concepts and application of role theory and the unique approach this theory makes to the human psyche. The workshop will involve the participants as directors, protagonists and auxilaries and in periods of reflection and review.
We all have them: everyday moments which need a more inspired response than we come up with at the time. Instead, we can narrow down, withdraw, condemn, dither or collude. We experience a failure of imagination.
This session uses action methods from psychodrama to engage you in revisiting a range of everyday situations in a spirit of play and experimentation.
This supervision group is for professionals conducting clinical work in groups and one to one settings, including psychodrama practitioners, trainees and other professionals interested in this approach.
The group is led by Richard Hall
This multi-level training group is an AANZPA accredited training program.
It is for new trainees at the core curriculum level and trainees at intermediate and advanced levels of training.
The group is led by Jenny Hutt, Hilde Knottenbelt and Chris Hosking.
In response to migration and refugees, Angela Merkel opened the German border and Donald Trump is putting deportation and building a big wall on his US Presidential ‘to do’ list. Here in Australia, a third of us were born overseas and we are said to live in one of the most successful multicultural nations in the world. Yet successive Australian governments detain asylum seekers off shore, despite clear evidence of the damage this is doing.
This evening session is an invitation for us to consider our experiences, impulses and challenges in coming to grips with our country’s approach to migration, refugees and people seeking asylum. Aspects of the psychodrama method will be used to help us build our connections as we discover more about the things that matter to us.
